- Page 5 FIBER BLOWING MACHINE Opera is a technologically advanced cable blowing machine designed for the installation of fiber optic cables over long distances, ensuring efficient and safe installation. It is capable of laying cables with diameters ranging from 2.4 to 16 mm inside ducts with diameters from 7 to 50 mm (from 7 to 16 mm with an internal adapter and from 16 to 50 mm with an optional external adapter).
- Page 6 USER MANUAL FIBER BLOWING MACHINE SAFETY REGULATIONS The air pressure must never exceed the limit of 16 bar. Do not open the adapter clamps during regular operation with the emergency button deactivated. Before use, ensure that the device is placed and secured on a solid surface or its own case.
- Page 7 4.2’’ TFT touch screen display with operational information (speed, distance, belt clamping force, actual cable pushing force, maximum pushing force, cable slippage, maximum cable slippage, compressed air pressure). Automatic installation stop upon reaching maximum pushing or slippage levels. Wi-Fi connection for remote management and data acquisition (requires Tablet with Fibernet App).

- Page 13 - Press the test button on the battery itself (Fig. 1) to check the charge level. The charge level can also be viewed on the Opera screen once it is powered on (Fig. 2). - If the battery is low or partially depleted, charge it accordingly.
- Page 14 Fig. 1 Fig. 2 OPERA CASE The Opera case has been designed as the ideal support for the machine during installation work. open and remove the upper part (1) lift the lower base (2) place the base (2) on the upper part (1)
- Page 15 USER MANUAL FIBER BLOWING MACHINE PRE-OPERATION CHECKS - Ensure that the orange central part of the emergency stop button is not pressed in (Fig. 1). This indicates that the button is enabled and the machine will not apply pressure until it is supposed to, which is crucial for safety during preparation.
- Page 16 USER MANUAL FIBER BLOWING MACHINE INSERTING THE DUCT - Ensure that the duct is prepared so that it does not have excessive curvature once inserted into the machine. If necessary, cut it to the appropriate length. - Open the clamps of the duct adapter and the cable adapter, and insert the tube into the duct adapter (Fig.
- Page 17 - Attach the compressed air hose to the machine by inserting the hose fitting into the corresponding connection on Opera, rotating it, and securely tightening the locking collar (Fig. 1). - Repeat the process with the compressor fitting (Fig. 2).
- Page 18 USER MANUAL FIBER BLOWING MACHINE SETTING THE MAXIMUM PUSHING FORCE The maximum pushing force setting acts as a control for the force applied to the cable. It prevents the application of a force greater than what the cable can withstand without breaking and automatically stops the machine if this force is exceeded.
- Page 19 USER MANUAL FIBER BLOWING MACHINE SETTING THE MAXIMUM SLIPPAGE Slippage refers to the percentage difference between the speed of the belts and the cable installation speed. Setting the slippage control helps prevent cable damage if the cable gets stuck for any reason, by stopping the machine.
- Page 20 - Pull the speed regulator upwards to unlock it and gradually rotate it clockwise to start the installation (Fig. 4). - Use compressed air to assist with cable installation by gradually opening the air flow adjustment handle on Opera to ensure the cable continues to move through the tube (Fig. 5). FORWARD BACKWARD Fig.
- Page 21 This is entirely normal and does not indicate a malfunction. Note: Opera is equipped with oil drain ports (Fig. 5 - 6). The air motor of Opera features a turbine that is lubricated by oil mixed with air. As the oil mixed with air passes through the motor, it lubricates it and is then expelled.
- Page 22 FIBER BLOWING MACHINE USE OF OPERA IN MECHANICAL ONLY MODE Opera can also be used in mechanical only mode, without relying on the electronic components. If the display or electronics stop functioning, you can still continue with the cable laying operations.
- Page 23 USER MANUAL FIBER BLOWING MACHINE REPLACEMENT OF DUCT AND CABLE ADAPTERS - Unscrew the screws and remove the adapters to be replaced. (Fig. 1) - Insert the adapters of the desired size and screw them back in place. - Inspect the condition of the adapter seals and replace them if necessary. (Fig. 2) - Ensure that the linear gasket of the air chamber are correctly positioned in their seats.
- Page 24 - Clean the machine with a damp cloth (not soaking wet) using water only. Do not use other chemicals. - Avoid using alcohol to clean the plexiglass surfaces. - Do not use water jets to clean Opera. - Compressed air can be used to remove any dust.
- Page 25 USER MANUAL FIBER BLOWING MACHINE REPLACING THE BELTS Opera’s belts are subject to wear and should be checked and replaced if they show signs of wear and have lost their grip on the cable. To replace the belts, follow these steps: 1.
- Page 26 - Investigate the cause of the problem. Only restart the operation if the issue is resolved. - After resolving the problem, return the machine to “Play” mode by pressing the corresponding button. - Resume the operation. or any other issues, please contact Fibernet Technical Support at: Phone: +39 06 90.40.50.39 - Email: info@fibernet.it...
- Page 27 Yes, for cables with a diameter of 2.4 mm, there is a specific smooth belt that must be installed on Opera before starting the installation. 8. What happens if the battery runs out or if the electronics fail? Opera can still be used even if the electronics are not functioning. See the relevant section of this manual for details.
- Page 28 It is advisable to perform a crash test before installation, as different types of cables and varying ambient temperatures can affect the maximum forces applicable to the cable. Note: Cables with an outer diameter of 6 mm or greater may require breakage forces that Opera cannot provide.
- Page 29 To use this outlet, insert the appropriate adapter (Fig. 2). To facilitate reverse operations of Opera and expulsion of a potentially blocked cable, follow these steps: - Using a tube different from the one you are working on (but part of the same underground tubing group), connect one end to the secondary air outlet adapter.
- Page 30 TIPS AND TRICKS INSTALLING A CABLE 2.4 mm When installing small cables with Opera, it is NECESSARY to perform a crash test. A well-conducted crash test helps prevent cable breakage during installation and is therefore a very important procedure. An initial setup might be as follows:...
